Nico Williams

Recent reports from March 2026 suggest a fee of €80 million could be enough to sign the player, with Athletic Club reportedly willing to accept offers below his release clause. The active release clause itself is consistently reported in early 2026 to be between €95 million and €100 million. In late 2025, Liverpool was linked with a potential €95 million offer, while Chelsea and Tottenham were reportedly prepared to offer €70 million. These figures followed a contract renewal in July 2025 which increased his prior release clause from circa €58-€60 million to the current €90-€100 million range.

Our valuation for Nico Williams is shaped by his July 2025 contract extension, which established a new release clause reportedly between €95-100 million. However, the most recent rumours from March 2026 suggest Athletic Club is now willing to negotiate and could accept a fee around €80 million. Our range is therefore anchored by this potential negotiated fee at the low end and the full release clause at the high end, with our estimate reflecting a likely compromise.
